I’m waiting for my triumphant return to school in January, till then I am CHILLING.
Right now I’m almost done One Hundred Years of Solitude and Gabor Maté (my love)‘s Hungry Ghosts. One Hundred Years has me conflicted—although I can appreciate it’s patient meditation on the cyclical nature of capitalism, it’s pacing is emotionally nonlinear, and paired with the six generations of all too similar names, it’s been a tedious venture so far. Conversely, I was enthralled by the first half of Hungry Ghosts so much that I went back and highlighted all the lines that struck me, and now I’ve got just shy of a hundred pages left. As an addict I’m indebted to his compassion, research, prose, and those adorable cheek bones

god this book is beautiful. somehow both a slow burn and constantly moving. i read love in the time of cholera more recently, which was very good, but there ’s something so magical about 100 years and i just can’t recommend it enough

dawg. this book.
so full disclosure I’m not done yet but-
I’m about half way through and I’m loving the absurdity of it all. It initially felt really odd to read so much Christian lore that I was unfamiliar with (i genuinely felt too Jewish for this book), but once it kept moving forward, the premise really took hold and i found myself enveloped by the writing!! The prose is immaculate too :)
All in all, a great read (so far!) of surrealist fiction that keeps me on my toes.
